Bear in mind I just got it this evening. It's an Inspiron 1545. It's a cheap laptop, and feels a bit like one. But so far Ubuntu is running like a champ. Honestly, my biggest problem is that the screen feels a bit small, and that's a problem that just costs more than $700 to fix :-)

Well, okay, an external LCD might be able to fix it for less than that. But then I'd need to plug it in and all that. You know what I mean.
